“So what is it about peonies that’s suddenly appealing to me? It’s not their famous perfume because, I must confess, I don’t like floral scents. I think it’s the fact that peonies start out as hard and round and fresh-scrubbed as new potatoes, and over the course of a sensational few days, transform themselves into outlandish tutus that prima ballerinas would give their tiaras to wear. Peonies slowly, gracefully, confidently explode into something completely unexpected, and that is a true sight to behold.”
